Multiple interpretation error in Kaspersky 5.0.372 allows remote attackers to bypass virus scanning via a file such as BAT, HTML, and EML with an "MZ" magic byte sequence which is normally associated with EXE, which causes the file to be treated as a safe type that could still be executed as a dangerous file type by applications on the end system, as demonstrated by a "triple headed" program that contains EXE, EML, and HTML content, aka the "magic byte bug."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old antivirus detection-bypass issue. Kaspersky 5.0.372 could treat a crafted file as safe because one marker made it look like an executable, while other applications might still process dangerous content inside it. Exposure appears limited to legacy Kaspersky 5.0.372 deployments or related antivirus products covered by the historical multiple-vendor advisory. The provided data does not identify a full affected-product list. Treat this as a legacy exposure check, not an emergency, unless unsupported antivirus versions remain in use. The business risk is misplaced trust in obsolete scanning controls. Mitigation focus: Check Kaspersky and relevant antivirus vendor guidance for historical update or replacement advice.; Retire Kaspersky 5.0.372 or other unsupported antivirus engines from production environments.; Do not rely on antivirus file-type interpretation as the only attachment control..
